In an interview with Eurogamer, Lead Designer Philippe Therien talked about the game, including the story, how co-cop will work and the type of game it’ll be. When asked if it was open world, he was blunt in saying it was not.

Yeah, seems like a game constrained by a modest budget. Shame, really.

Story wise I like this direction, but it would had been fun free roaming the city with your co-op buddies.

Idk the limited set piece focus in the trailer with the bridge seemed to offer some decent variety for enemy take down depending on who is playing who.

I kind of liked it in that regard.

Open world is one of the worst buzz phrases of this gen and most games miss the mark with them by a lot.

Anthem, it is like Anthem. xD

It doesn’t really need to be.

Anthem, it is like Anthem. xD

This is exactly what I think as well. This is a straight up GaaS game and they are afraid to show it because they know that is not what anyone wanted for this IP.
